We do have Meru and we do monitor it. However, we found that the controllers were not very responsive to SNMP, and we wanted to summarize by building (we have > 2000 APs in ~ 230 buildings). so we run a script on a unix system that talks SNMP to the controller and generates a per-building summary (into a database these days, IIRC), that has about a 5 minute history built in (to deal with the SNMP failures). We also have a daemon listening on a socket that can query the database. A simple TCP probe on Intermapper gets up/down/warn status by asking for a specific building number and getting back the number of down APs and total APs for that building number. Since we name our access points wap-####-xx where #### is the building number (and xx is sequence number), this isn't too hard to do.
If this complex type of monitoring is of interest, I'll see about sharing our scripts, we can usually do that.
